This is how I clear all cookies/give cookies/detect cookies

am i doing it the right way?
Somehow or rather, i would hit an object cannot be instanisiated from null
or something whenever it tries to read cookies


Clear cookies:
Response.Cookies.Clear()

Dim ck1 As HttpCookie = Request.Cookies("USERLOGGEDIN")

If Not ck1 Is Nothing Then

Response.Cookies("USERLOGGEDIN").Expires = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-1)

End If





This is how I put in cookies:

If Request.Cookies("USERLOGGEDIN") Is Nothing Then

Dim ck As New HttpCookie("USERLOGGEDIN")

ck.Value = "1"

Response.Cookies.Add(ck)

End If



This is how i detect cookies:



Dim ck1 As HttpCookie = Request.Cookies("USERLOGGEDIN")

If ck1 Is Nothing Then

Response.Redirect("login.aspx")

End If
 
Code seems ok to me at first glance. Do you have a stack trace of the error?
